In response to impending US tariffs, Quebec Premier François Legault reframed the rallying cry 'Vive le Quebec' from a push for sovereignty to a defensive economic stance. He emphasized the importance of unity among Quebecers to protect their jobs and industries, especially in sectors heavily reliant on US trade. With over 70% of Quebec's exports directed to the US, the tariffs pose a significant threat. Discussions on diversifying export markets and removing interprovincial trade barriers have gained prominence, as Quebec seeks to assert its economic strength in the face of external pressures.
With Trump’s new steel and aluminum tariffs on the horizon, Quebec’s Premier Legault shifted ‘Vive le Quebec’ from sovereignty to an economic defense, rallying Quebecers to protect their economy.
Legault emphasized the need for Quebecers to ‘roll up their sleeves’ against the economic challenges posed by US tariffs, urging collective action to safeguard jobs and industries.
